SPOKEN WORD: With Music, JAZZ: World Fusion
Details:
Before Robert Baker became Reverend Bakerbop in his current spoken word incarnation, Bopaphonics, he recorded a solo EP of his spoken word "malarkey" with the owners of Zgwonth studios in Lawrence Kansas (the La-La Land of Kansas - a Midwest musical mecca). The tracks contained on this cult CD generated major label interest & a second full length thematic Malarkey CD, Chameleon.
"Falling somewhere between jazzy world music and manic spoken word, Robert Baker''s spoken word portraits are underlined by saxophone, bass, guitar and https://www.tradebit.com words stand true, with wit, in a field usually overrun by pretensions, which are thankfully absent on this disc...the only complaint I have is that the disc is too short." - Anne Tangeman, Lawrence Journal World
